Thank you, Chair.
I just want to say that it's the committee that determines its agenda. The government or the minister is not going to determine our agenda for us. With all respect to the minister, he's not on the agenda today. He's certainly not on the part of the agenda we have moved to. He fully has the right to participate in our discussion of our future agenda, if that really turns his crank. He can participate in that discussion, but we have determined our agenda. We've determined who we were going to hear from. We've determined what's on that agenda, and I think we should move to that.
I don't want to deny the minister his ability to participate in that discussion. I can't imagine that he doesn't have something more important than that, but if he wants to participate in it, that's his right.
